ENVE MTB Rigid Fork

The reversible dropout chips allow you to switch between a 44mm and 52mm offset. A shorter offset (44mm) generally increases mechanical trail, providing more stability at speed, while a longer offset (52mm) quickens the steering response for tighter, more technical handling.

This fork is designed for 29-inch wheels and uses a tapered 1-1/8 to 1.5-inch steerer tube. It requires a 15x100mm thru-axle hub, so ensure your front wheel is compatible before purchasing.

The fork offers generous clearance, accommodating tires up to 3.8 inches wide. This makes it a versatile choice for everything from standard mountain bike tires to plus-sized setups.

Yes, the mini carbon fiber fender is designed to be easily removed. It provides a clean, integrated look while offering protection from trail debris, but you can take it off if you prefer a more minimalist aesthetic.

The fork features a 160mm post mount. While it can accommodate rotors up to 180mm, you will need the appropriate adapter to make that adjustment.

Switching to a rigid fork significantly reduces weight and eliminates the maintenance requirements of suspension components. It provides a direct, responsive feel that is excellent for smooth trails or bikepacking, though it requires more active line choice and body positioning since it lacks impact absorption.
